Overview

Roe-sèpíê Bî was founded durring the late 15th century in summer of the year 1379, by Khrondri Èbêbmthe. The establishment of Roe-sèpíê Bî suffered from several major issues, resulting in the need to develop many solutions to basic problems.

The town's buildings feature waddle and daub construction with good timber frames and a stone foundation protected by thatched or shingled rooves. Most buildings with second floors are built in such a way as to overhang into the streets on the upper floors for more space, as building size seems to be the primary indicator of wealth within the community. Most buildings are not decorated with any integral features, but instead use ivy, flowers, and other natural elements in planters of on trellices to breathe life into the structure they grow upon.

Roe-sèpíê Bî is is constructed arround a series of narrow worn bedrock mainstreets which form overlapping circles, with smaller strait roads linking the circiles to eachother at varrious points. The town has a fortified albit thin brick wall. The wall has most of the feeatures of a typical castle wall, just on a much smaller scale and and budget. Notably brick isn't a particuarly soild choice for resisting siege weapons. Roe-sèpíê Bî's wall wouldn't hinder a proper army, but it is more than sufishent for bandits and other small marauding groups. Roe-sèpíê Bî's monster and outlaw focused fortifications are suffering from significent damage, so much so that examples can be pointed to no matter which section one might have within their line of site, and most of which render sections inoperable at present.

A look around Roe-sèpíê Bî is like a look into a broken heart. There is no planning, no organization. Everyone here clearly goes about their own thing with little thought to anyone around them who isn’t selling something they need. It’s not malicious. Heads are hung. Eyes are empty. Something truly horrible happened here once upon a time and the town never healed.
